When we got Spider from you guys last year I was a bit dubious as to his abilities as he never showed much for you guys, but he has really played well this year and I think is playing the best footy of his career. He's really dominating the ruck for us at the moment and helping to win games for us.

We've got a lot of players from the Dockers over the past few years who have turned out to be great players and I was wondering why you guys let them go? Anyone know?

I haven't been able to see much of Bell this year as I am in Sydney and we rarely get any Freo games over here. How is he going this year? I hope he is playing well as he was really great for us and a top bloke.

Anyway, I hope the Dockers turn the corner soon and get a few wins on the board (You'll have to wait until after this week though!).

Who's going to coach next year?

well we got rid of spider and the other players because their form was bad at the time and were doing no good for us

peter bell has been playing match winning performances when he is playing unfortunately he has had a run with injuries and only just came back after 2 or so weeks or somin like that

well there has been many stories about our next coach i even heard that just before the sydney game hatt and mclean were over in melbourne signing up terry walace
but we will just have to wait and see what happens but i doubt that is true
 
Spider was delisted in 99 (i think) and wasnt a required player back then and isnt a required player now.
If the Roos offered to give him back for nothin I still wouldnt take him.

And I heard he wouldnt go either sabre_ac. Isnt it amazing what our coach can get out of all those Freo players (excepting Jess at the moment) that all both Freo coaches couldnt get out of them. I dont think that is a matter of "they werent playing well for us at the time". More like the coach couldnt get them to play like that for Freo.

Evidently Micky Malthouse couldn't get him to play for us either.

Didn't play a game. Though it was difficult getting him to develop into a senior footy player. As wirey as he is now, he was far worse when on our list :eek:

Gee everyone down at freo was heartbroken when Spider left - and we are just weeping everytime we see him play for north.

Pagan said he had 4 years left in him, thats longer than North has.
